Handbook on the legal processes for the police in respect of crimes against children

This handbook, originally titled 'Children's Charter', and later changed to the present one, is focused on the rights of child victims of crime. It is essentially meant for police officials who are called upon to address the issues of child rights. It is a ready reckoner which hopes to serve as a guide book to help the user decide which law(s) are to be used, when and how to implement the provisions effectively and the skills required in its utilization and implementation. It is a process document, explaining the best methods of ensuring that the rights of child victims are protected. While this is not a compilation of laws, it is a tool which will help one gain a complete picture of the laws and the latest rulings of the superior courts in India, as well as the best practices, and help in deciding how to invoke them in the best possible manner while dealing with offences against children.
It is a book linking the text to the context. And that is the intended purpose too, by bringing in the laws and rulings into context and helping the stakeholders ensure rule of law.
